Flavonoids are well-known plant metabolites that have extraordinary properties that can be used for treating health issues. The pharmaceutical importance of flavonoids is due to their anti-depressant, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant capacities. They are also of great importance when it comes to neuroprotection, cardiovascular disorders, and many types of cancer. Flavonoids are also easily available and produce less harmful side effects than some conventional therapeutics.This new volume examines the growing use of flavonoids for prevention and treatment of diseases and discusses their beneficial mechanisms. Chapters in the volume address diverse uses as anti-aging tools, as anti-inflammatory agents, for treating pregnancy-induced disorders, as a promising tool to combat infection of Covid-19, etc. The book explores their specific therapeutic antiviral potentials, the gene expression by flavonoids, and the role of flavonoids in agriculture.

The primary goal of writing this book is to present the complex questions in a simple and accessible manner, which are commonly asked in competitive examinations such as M.Sc., Ph.D., Assistant Professor, SRF, JRF, NET, and others. Due to the vast amount of information required on various subjects in Plant Breeding and Genetics, students are often reliant on a variety of books, literature, monographs, research papers, and other materials. The book Genetics and Plant Breeding for Competitive Examinations has been written to cover all the courses offered in both undergraduate and postgraduate programs, and it includes a large number of objective-type questions that have been formulated chapter-wise, which required considerable efforts.

The book aims to provide a comprehensive view of advanced environmental approaches for wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, pesticide degradation, dye removal, waste management, microbial transformation of environmental contaminants etc.With advancements in the area of Environmental Biotechnology, researchers are looking for the new opportunities to improve quality standards and environment. Recent technologies have given impetus to the possibility of using renewable raw materials as a potential source of energy. Cost intensive and eco-friendly technology for producing high quality products and efficient ways to recycle waste to minimize environmental pollution is the need of hour. The use of bioremediation technologies through microbial communities is another viable option to remediate environmental pollutants, such as heavy metals, pesticides and dyes etc.Since physico-chemical technologies employed in the past have many potential drawbacks including higher cost, and lower sustainability. So there is need of efficient biotechnological alternatives to overcome increasing environmental pollution. Hence, there is a need for environmental friendly technologies that can reduce the pollutants causing adverse hazards on humans and surrounding environment.

This book provides a comprehensive and current perspective on cancer research. It covers cancer biology through seven well-laid-out sections. Section I describes normal cell division, cellular homeostasis, and malignant cell transformation. Genetics, cancer epigenetics, cell cycle checkpoint, and growth-regulatory gene expression are covered in Section II. Section III discusses carcinogens, which cause cancer. Section IV describes molecular changes in cancer genes and signaling pathways, which are also employed to develop precise cancer diagnostics and treatments. Section V discusses tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, and therapeutic response, which depend on tumor cell–microenvironment interactions and their impact on disease. Section VI covers cancer diagnosis and newer, more targeted treatment. The post-genomic age and molecular methods have boosted cancer research. Section VII shows how molecular profiling, proteomics, metabolomics, and system biology might help comprehend this complicated disease. This section also discusses the microbiome's role in cancer progression and therapeutic possibilities

This book deals with the mathematical and physical foundations of intrinsic structures in non-solid phases without being limited to matter. That is, it is not restricted to fluids, gases, plasmas, degenerated matter, neutron stars, black holes, etc. Thereby the expression “non-solid” may stand for everything that could show fluid- and gas-like behavior, which ranges from real liquids and gases, via dynamically interacting agents and socioeconomic spaces, all sorts of markets, systems of sufficiently weak interaction and internal “position flexibility,” the many realms of our own universe, our neurologic apparatus or mind, artificial “thinking” or Turing machines, information units in living and non-living systems of all scales, the interaction patterns of these units, and structures with all sorts of fields (electromagnetic and other), to the so-called space-times or subspace-times of Everett worlds. Instead of associating the word “non-solid” with classical liquids and immediately resorting to the Navier–Stokes or Navier–Stokes-like equations, we consider our “non-solid” as a general ensemble of attributes and, by subjecting the latter to generalized Hamilton principles, obtain Einstein field and quantum Einstein field equations. This quantum gravitational approach leads to highly astonishing solutions and structures for suitable, non-solid systems, which, if practically realized, could produce seemingly real wonder worlds.

This book discusses the significance of the chemical acaricides resistance in ticks as a global problem. Resistance is the ability of a tick population to survive and reproduce in the presence of a pesticide that would otherwise be lethal. This resistance threatens the efficacy of a range of acaricides used to control tick populations and consequently, has a negative impact on the effectiveness of various pest management strategies. This resistance is caused by the selection of resistant tick genotypes and enhanced metabolic detoxification. To address this problem the book explores an integrated approach that is needed to identify and manage tick populations that are resistant to acaricides, as well as identify and develop novel acaricides that are effective against resistant tick species populations.It describes the complex issues associated with this phenomenon using cutting edge advancement in Bioinformatics and Bioinformation Discovery. The chapters provide current information pertaining to the types of protein-protein complexes (homodimers, heterodimers, multimer complexes) in context with various specific and sensitive biological functions. The significance of such complex formation in human biology in the light of molecular evolution is also highlighted using several examples.The book serves as a valuable resource for students, academicians and researchers studying about tick resistance.
